This weeks Rockstar for Why We Rock Wednesday is Tymofii! The smile on his face should say it all, but when asked about the impact an adaptive bike has had on his life his mom used a quote from JFK to sum it up perfectly.
“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike” -John F Kennedy
This years theme for our Child’s Play Gala on May 7th 2020 is A Musical Road Trip. Leading up to the event we will be featuring former grantees in “This is Why We Rock Wednesday’s” to show the impact our foundation has been able to have thanks to the continued support from our community.
Our first Rockstar is Lailah who recently was granted an adaptive bike from the foundation.
“Lailah is usually a happy and fun spirited little girl, but the thief that is Rett Syndrome rarely allows us to capture it on camera. Tonight when Lailah sat on her tricycle for the first time it was as if she wanted the world to know how excited she really was”
